justy 46 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Pic 2. For the top of the mower i used spare bits from old Airfix & Revell model planes & stuff cut & trimed to shape for the hydraulic lift arms,pto , canopy 3pt linkage, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Im using a Siku JD 7530 to take this front mower along with the Britains JD 535 rear mower. I had to modify the front linkage on the tractor. I used a front linkage from my IMBER FORD 5640 trimed to fit & painted both linkage & Mower using JD paint from the spray can.

justy 46 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Fits well. Even tough i used JD branded paint. The colour is still a bit off. Must be the Siku paint on the tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 More pictures. I was going to use the JD 6920 in the backround instead of the 7530. But the 6920 can stay carting the silage. Bit more power needed id say . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeres. i agree would love to see a high detail 40/50 series made in my view by wiking but ertl would be the most likelry as they have the casting for the original sg2 deere and the stock 66 deere oh and the biggy a licence to produce john deere models so can only keep the fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yourself id love to see more 1/32s from them. Cause to buy a conversion can be hard on the pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yeah why are the custom John Deere models so dear (excuse the pun) The ones I have seen don't really appear that much more detailed and those PDC ones seem pretty expensive, though having not seen one up close I could be mistaken?? I got me a plow city JD monster recently which for an Ertl is very high detail and of course 1:32 scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickelcarroll Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have one of those tim mowers myself and want to do something with it. Was it a hard conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have one of those tim mowers myself and want to do something with it. Was it a hard conversion? It was tricky. Most of the added parts like the lift arms on the mower etc were cut from old airfix kits that i had leftover bits on & trimed to shape.

justy 46 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Fantastic work, it looks hungry for some hay. Well its more silage for this thing. . The weather over here aint the best for hay. You may only have a window of 2 weeks in the whole year to make hay in Ireland. Cheers bud .
